Disney is doing extremely well on their quest to conquer and monopolize Hollywood as they are stepping into every field having gained the ability to do so over the years. Being a studio that owned only fairy tale and cartoon characters, Disney has now accomplished some major feats by acquiring and producing content on some major pop culture fandom that…

There are many rumors and reports out there to excite any Marvel fan right now and news of a show on the story of Nick Fury seems to be the talk of the past already as there are reports that Disney is planning in order to launch some shows for their upcoming shows for the streaming service they’re planning to…

Heroes for Hire: Marvel fans have recently been agitated with the fact that Netflix has actually canceled two decent Marvel shows after 2 seasons of the establishment. 2018 was the first year which brought us 4 Marvel Netflix shows in a single year. After getting Defenders in 2017, we got the second seasons for Jessica Jones, Luke Cage & Iron…

The bond Marvel and Netflix have shared for all these years got rocked by two ground-breaking headlines produced by Netflix. Netflix came like Thanos and within a spin of a second just dismantled the hopes of many fans as, after the cancellation of Iron Fist Season 3, it was Luke Cage Season 3 which got canceled by Netflix. The news…

Who doesn’t like the idea of lazing around on the weekend watching Netflix and gulping that cheesy pizza? Here is our list of 10 new releases on Netflix November 2018 that you should watch out for: 1. House of Cards: Final Season The show is a political crime drama which is the adaptation of the 1990 BBC mini-series of the…

Luke Cage Season 3: I have to say sorry to all of you but seriously before writing this down, I thought that maybe someone has hacked the systems of Netflix or has manipulated the high authority people at the company by using the scepter but they’re doing it with all their mind and heart in its right place as just…

This is arguably the first time when Netflix is going to be centered around a news which came as a shock to the whole world. Despite the release of Iron Fist’s second season which got tremendous appreciation from the critics and crowd all over the world, it has been announced that Netflix isn’t going to launch Marvel’s Iron Fist Season…

Now that we have seen all the other Defenders with their second seasons this year, the best of them all is going to be back with his third. Daredevil Season 3 has had a very different and quite an amazing marketing campaign run by Netflix as they have given us 4 very little teasers that have revealed ample info for…

The internet took over our television sets a few years ago. The residents of urban cities, especially the Millennials now are not interested in TV as much as much as they enjoy internet because of the convenience and also because of the diverse content that it has to offer. And if that wasn’t enough, online streaming services made sure that…

The second season of the American web series Iron Fist, which is based on the Marvel Comics character with the same name follows Danny Rand aka Iron Fist. Finn Jones stars as Rand, who is stepping up to be the protector of the New York following the events of The Defenders, with Jessica Henwick, Tom Pelphrey, Jessica Stroup, and Sacha…

[lazyimage][/lazyimage]Deadline day and surprises. A combination which turns the world upside down of every supporter. It’s a day when all the football clubs go absolutely bananas, apples, oranges and what not. The football clubs hunt down the players & get them to sign the contract before the clock hits the last moment. Premier League clubs spent more than £155m on transfer deadline…

[lazyimage][/lazyimage]Premier League clubs have spent around £490m in the month since the summer transfer window opened on 1 July. Here are 7 new arrivals in Premier League who we can’t wait to watch. Henrikh Mkhitaryan Manchester United signing of Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund has brought great piece of excitement & jubilation among the fans. The 27-year-old joined United for an…

Just five games to go and another season of the Bundesliga will be over. Yet another season which sees Bayern Munich on top. Good to see Borussia Dortmund back in the top 3 as they are now second and 7 points Bayern. Hertha Berlin is the surprise package of the season, in third position, and a whopping 19 points behind…

Just six games to go and another season of the La Liga will be over. Good to see that it wasn’t a two-horse race this season. Barcelona has a three-point lead over Atletico Madrid, who are one point clear of rivals Real Madrid. Four points separating the top 3 as we head towards an exciting end of the season. Now…

Just 5 games to go and another season of the Premier League will be over. Time has flown by, hasn’t it? Well, it has indeed and what a season this has been. Leicester City almost there, becoming the 6th side to win the Premier League title. Now as the season approaches its end, the opening day of the summer transfer…

Just five games to go and the Barclays Premier League 2015-16 will end. Leicester City just requires 3 wins in the remaining 5 games (only if Tottenham win all 5 of their games) and they will be crowned Champions of England for the first time in their history. It has been an unbelievable run from a team which was battling…

After the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United are still feeling the after effects. They have still not recovered from their downfall after the Scotsman retired. The 2015/16 season was showing promise at the start but as 2015 ended, United found themselves falling out of the top-four. After losing to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, United now find themselves 4…

When we talk about the toughest club teams on a European level, teams like Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Juventus come to mind. In recent years, Paris Saint-Germain has joined them. Noticing something weird? Yes. There are no English teams in that list. Even if they are on the list, they definitely aren’t in the top 5. English teams…

The 2015-16 season is nearing its end and my word, what an unbelievable season it has been. The defending champions struggling, last season’s relegation battlers on top with one hand on the trophy, three of the traditional “Big Four” not present in the Top 4, and the fight for European football goes on and will go on until the final…

Excitement levels in the Premier League just keep on rising as some of the best players and managers from around the globe return or begin their new adventure in England. Earlier this season, Manchester City confirmed that former Barcelona and current Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola would be taking over the managerial role at the club 2016-17 onwards. Lately, Manchester…

Unthinkable and unpredictable things happen in the Premier League. We can say we have seen it all. From the “Big Four” era to the present day, in the final edition of the “Barclays” Premier League, where we see Leicester City very close to becoming champions and who are right behind them? Tottenham Hotspur. Where are teams like Chelsea, Liverpool, and…

I did forget to mention in Part 1 that this list is only about managers who are active or on sabbatical. I will not mention managers who have retired in this series. Now that we have cleared things, let us take a look at a couple more managers who should come back to the Premier League because I think that…

Welcome to the English Premier League! The home of the most unpredictable and entertaining football in the world. One can only guess who the champion will be at the end and we owe a huge amount of appreciation to those who made their contributions in making this league so exciting and thrilling. The fans, the players, and, of course, the…

It has been a rough road for Manchester United ever since Sir Alex Ferguson called it quits. Successor David Moyes was not even given a whole season before he was given the boot. Now Manchester United are under experienced Dutchman Louis van Gaal. It was an exciting announcement when his arrival was confirmed because he was coming to Old Trafford…

ManUtd were missing 14 first team players due to injury including the likes of Martial and Rooney which meant LVG was forced to play 18year old Marcus Rashford up front. Manutd’s backline had Michael Carrick filling in at centre half and 22year old Varela playing at right back. Every single one of ManUtd’s outfield substitutes were 21 or under. On…

Arsenal haven’t won at Old Trafford in the league since Adebayor scored the winner in 2006. With Arsenal chasing the title and Manutd struggling to reach 4th, this is perhaps as good as opportunity as any to end that miserable run. We take a look at the factors that could eventually decide whether or not the gunners get what…

The League Cup is often thought of as the least important of all the trophies that are available for an English club to compete for. Many top clubs don’t even bother playing their best players in the tournament. It is a trophy nonetheless and I personally believe it deserves more respect than it gets. It is the 1st Cup final…

When Chelsea won the Champions League a lot of football ‘fans’ took away a lot of credit from them because of the way they won it. By playing pragmatic, defensive, “Negative” football. By “Parking the bus” as the cliche goes. I never quite understood it. Why was it a crime all of a sudden to play for a result? Going…

After Arsenal’s nil-nil draw against Hull in the FAcup, I just sat there on my sofa wondering “If you were the manager of that Arsenal side, what do you say to the players in the dressing room?” Should the manager have a go at his players for failing to win? Or look at the performance and say “Okay we didn’t…

With Manutd’s slump in form their race for top4 seems to be over. Leicester, Arsenal, Spurs and ManCity will most probably be occupying the Champions League positions come the end of the season. But in what order? With 12games to go there are only 2points separating the top3 and 6separating the 1st and 4th. Exciting. Oh so exciting. As…

Weekends on which the top 4 sides play their direct title rivals on the same day have always been a rarity. With Leicester travelling to the Emirates and Manchester City hosting Tottenham, it promised to be an exciting Sunday and boy did it live up to the expectations!! Even the purest of the purists would’ve forgiven Leicester for going to…

“Leicester are doing well, but they WILL start dropping points and fall away. It’ll be an achievement if the get European football”. We’ve all been saying something along those lines all season. And yet here we are, 25games into the season with Leicester still top, leading 2nd place Spurs by 5points and Man City by 6 points. Not only that,…

In 2012 Drogba and Anelka both left European football and joined Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua. Not a lot was made at the time because it was seen as a move by famous players who are no longer at the top of their game trying to maximise their income and look for a new challenge away from TOP level football.…

With Barcelona winning the game at Vicente Calderon in September, Atletico will be looking to exact revenge. Both teams are level on points, with Barcelona having a game in hand. This presents Atletico with a perfect opportunity to go 3 points clear of their title rivals. But at Camp Nou they stand little chance to do it. We take…

Robin Van Persie scored a hat-trick for Arsenal the last time they defeated Chelsea. Yes. It’s been that long. I honestly expected us to beat Chelsea this time and also went on to say that we’d beat them by 2 clear goals. In the end, it wasn’t to be. The game wasn’t as open, end to end or entertaining as…

Never before or since have I been as angry, emotional and animated as I was when the last time these two teams met. Chelsea defeated Arsenal at the Bridge in the beginning of the season which many people incorrectly thought would kick-start Chelsea’s campaign. Few months on, Arsenal are top and Chelsea, still struggling. Yes, I will go ahead and…

It’s been 100 days since Klopp arrived at Anfield and when he started off people were making quick judgements about him after a couple of impressive away results. At one point some journalists were even speculating about Liverpool joining the title race, something that didn’t really happen. Even at the time I felt it was too early to judge. After…

Both Madrid clubs Real and Atletico have been banned by FIFA from registering any new players for 2 transfer windows over breach of rules considering signing minors. The ban doesn’t cover the current January window, which gives them about 2 weeks to sort things out. That is big BIG news. Atletico will obviously be more affected by the ban…

Liverpool’s game against Arsenal was a “we score, you score” sort of a match. Thoroughly entertaining. Both sides can claim to deserve all 3points, but I don’t think either of them will be too disappointed with the 1. Liverpool avoid defeat and manage to just about stay in the race for 4th place and the point keeps Arsenal on top…

I’ve never been very complimentary towards Real Madrid when it comes to the way Florentino Perez runs the club and don’t see that changing. His latest gambit? Sacking Rafa and appointing Zidane. I said at the start of the season that Benitez won’t last very long but even I was surprised when he was sacked even before Madrid got knocked…

Zidane’s appointment as the Real Madrid manager was a case of a club turning to a legendary player to rescue them by sitting in the dug-out. Yes Zidane was a world class footballer, but is he a world class manager? Is there any connection between being a successful player and a successful manager? Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski, the authors…

Zinedine Zidane is among the top footballers to have ever played the game. The retired French national was recently drafted as the Manager by his old team, Real Madrid. During his tenure at Real Madrid as an attacking midfielder, Zidane gave same memorable performances. With a bag of mixed results this season, Madrid would be hoping that Zidane turns…

Manchester United should resist the temptation of ‘The Special One’ With discontent brewing at Old Trafford there were a lot of questions being raised about Louis Van Gaal’s future, now the rumour mill has gotten to its work. THE most interesting one is LVG out JOSE in. I think it is genuinely possible. Sir Alex is a big admirer of…

If crashing out of the CL in group stages wasn’t bad enough, Manutd have now lost back to back matches in the league and are winless in 4. This means they are now 5th in the table, level on points with Spurs on 4th and Palace on 6th. They are also 9 points off the league leaders. All of…

Chelsea are in a right mess and Leicester are busy writing an unbelievable fairytale! This season has been a stark contrast to the last for both these clubs and the latest evidence to that was Leicester’s 2-1 win over the reigning champions at the King Power stadium. Here we present to you, miracle and the mess. No Leicester were not…

Champions League Round of 16 Champions league draws were concluded recently and the round of 16 has some interesting fixtures. Here is my opinion on all of them. AS Roma Vs Real Madrid This tie won’t be as straightforward as many might think. AS Roma are a capable side with some very good footballers. I believe they won’t…

After just 1 win in the last 11 games, Swansea have decided to pull the plug on Garry Monk’s reign at the club. Despite being just 36years of age, Monk had become somewhat of a distinguished figure at the club. And rightfully so. He played for The Swans for about a decade making over 200 appearances before becoming a player…

Man City are through, United are not and to be honest they deserved to go out. Manutd went into the final group game with their fate firmly in their own hands. Win and go through. Simple as that. But they failed. LVG can expect a lot of stick from the Manutd supporters and rightfully so. They have been putting…

Manchester United is the most successful club in English football, having won a record 19 league titles, a record 11 FA Cups and four League Cups. The club has also won three European Cups and has twice been club world champions: in 1999 and 2008. Manchester United is one of the wealthiest and most widely supported football teams in the world. The club is said to be worth £1.13 billion, making it the world’s…

Atletico Madrid’s 1-nil win at home against Espanyol wasn’t as sweet as a routine home win usually is despite the fact that they close the gap between them and Barcelona down to 4 points. That is because one of their most influential midfielders, Tiago was stretchered off the pitch with a fractured leg. There is no time frame for…

After scoring 20 goals last season Diego Costa seemed like a brilliant buy. But it’s gone downhill this season. He returned from pre season reportedly overweight and has made very little contribution on the pitch. Apart from lack of form, he is also being a bit of a nuisance to the football club. His antics against Arsenal were applauded by…

Sir Alex Ferguson retiring was surely one of the biggest blow in history for Manchester United. It was always said that replacing Ferguson would be a very difficult task and it turned out to be true. David Moyes has already failed and now the current manager Louis van Gaal and his ‘philosophy’ have come under a lot of questions. Under…

I know it sounds ridiculous to call one of the two best players of his generation a ‘liability’ but just give it a thought for a moment. Is Cristiano Ronaldo worth the baggage he carries? Yes his ability cannot be questioned (though he’s been pretty shite with free kicks recently) and he is going win you more matches than…

As things stand, Arsenal need to win both the matches and beat Olympiakos by 2 clear goals to go through. (assuming Bayern beat Olympiakos) It’s not easy. But it’s not impossible either. Arsenal have been very poor in Europe this season having lost 3 out of their 4 games and they need a massive turn around or they will be…

Manchester United, A club where many unknown and young players have become Legends. Many players like Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and most recently Javier Hernandez, who were practically unknown, before coming to Old Trafford. Like the players mentioned above, many didn’t knew about George Best when he was young. George was born in 1946…

In a fashion true to their style, Real Madrid manager Rafa Benitez was put under all sorts of pressure coming into the El Clasico. Some sections of the media even speculating about his future at the club, despite having lost only 1 match! Such is the nature of the club. All the controversy surrounding their manager and their best…

Premier League action resumed after the international break as Manchester City were set to host Liverpool at the Etihad. In their last game, Manchester City were frustratingly held to a draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park. The Sky Blues were out looking to bag their first Premier League win in the month of November and they wanted it desperately…

The dominant champions of last season’s Premier League are struggling terribly this season. Chelsea, who now sit in the bottom half of the Premier League table, just above the relegation zone, might just be having second thoughts about their manager – “The Special One,” Jose Mourinho. It didn’t seem Chelsea were going to part ways with Jose Mourinho…. Again!…

The defending champions are off to a shocking start in the Premier League. After totally dominating England last season, manager Jose Mourinho is under a lot of pressure as Chelsea hover just above the relegation zone. Chelsea already had a very strong team last season, but Mourinho decided to bolster the squad by adding attacker Pedro Rodriguez to his squad.…

Lately, Louis van Gaal has come under a lot of pressure from the fans. The Old Trafford faithful want to see a change in formation or tactic which will see their side score more often. It has been 3 games now and United have failed to score a single goal. So here are a few possibilities from a fan’s point…

Despite not being in the lineup of either of the sides, the refs have the ability to influence a game as much as the best player on the pitch. 1 decision can change the outcome of the game and this is precisely why nobody tends to like them. Like players, referees have their own peculiar style as well. Some chose…

5 losses in 10 games is simply shocking stuff from the reigning champions and their form in Europe isn’t flawless either. I cannot think of a champion side starting the following campaign this abysmally. Here’s the special case of “The Special One” I get the feeling that a lot of football fans have been desperately waiting for Jose to fail…

The group stage of the UEFA Champions League reached the midway point as we saw 33 goals scored in the 16 games played this past Tuesday and Wednesday. With teams fighting for the trophy to the teams who just have their eyes set on the Europa League spot, we have shortlisted the TOP3 matches of Round 3. ARSENAL 2…

Aston Villa – Swansea City Aston Villa have won just one of their eight Premier League meetings with Swansea (D3 L4), losing each of the last three and failing to score in the last two. Swansea City have collected just two points from their last five Premier League away games (D2 L3). Tim Sherwood has lost 14 of his 22…

C. Ronaldo is now the highest goal scorer for Real in the history of La Liga, having surpassed Raul. Raul probably is one of the greatest strikers in the game and Ronaldo went passed him without breaking a sweat! It took Raul 550 games over 16years to accumulate 228 goals. Ronaldo scored more in half the number of games. Simply…

To the relief of many, Premier League action resumes after the international break. With a set of some exciting fixtures, the most unpredictable and entertaining league in the world saw 23 goals scored in the 8 games that were scheduled for Saturday, 17th October. The action kicked-off at White Hart Lane as Liverpool, under their new manager Jürgen Klopp held…

Bayer 04 Leverkusen – Roma Bayer Leverkusen and Roma’s only previous meeting was in the 2004/05 Champions League group stages. The German side won 3-1 in Leverkusen and there was a 1-1 draw in Rome. Bayer Leverkusen have reached the Last 16 in each of the past four seasons they’ve been involved in the Champions League. None of Bayer…

To the relief of many, Premier League action resumes after the international break. With a set of some exciting fixtures, the most unpredictable and entertaining league in the world saw 23 goals scored in the 8 games that were scheduled for Saturday, 17th October. The action kicked-off at White Hart Lane as Liverpool, under their new manager Jürgen Klopp held…

Real Madrid – Levante Real Madrid have won their last seven La Liga games against Levante. They have never won eight in a row against them. The Valencians have been shut out against Real Madrid in three consecutive La Liga games. Levante have won only one of their last 10 visits to Santiago Bernabéu (L9), 0-1 in 2007 with a…
